Most people will have heard of feng shui, the ancient Chinese science and art which says we are directly affected by the energy, or chi, in the space around us and that we can make positive improvements in our lives by adapting our immediate environment. Inner Feng Shui, the latest book by enthusiast Lillian Too, looks at how these principles can be applied more directly to our mental processes--and consequently our life prospects--by balancing the inner energies of yin and yang deep down at the level of our consciousness. "Your inner consciousness is virtually always wiser than your surface consciousness," according to Too and the answers to life's problems are actually inside you. Inner Feng Shui says that to unlock them you need to develop a level of spirituality and engage your heart as well as your mind. The book is a clearly written guide to the background philosophy and the three principal tools needed to achieve this. The first stage is "mental space clearance" where you rid your mind of the negative attitudes that create bad luck and unhappiness, namely, anger, attachment and ignorance. This releases your energy in a positive way to attract what you want and you can then programme your mind even more positively using meditation and visualisations. The theory is that this will start to attract more of what we want, be it prosperity, success, work or marriage. But ultimately the real aim is happiness. --Cindy Symons
